my week

Just a little ranting about the week I've had.

I get home Monday and I'm doing laundry and one of the neighbors informs me that one of my tires is flat. Just great! So Chris and I get out in the parking lot, by the way it was dark outside, and change the tire. Ok so Chris changed the tire and I held the flashlight (it's an important job too). The spare tire looks real good let me tell you. hahaha. . . Oh did I mention that the tire that is flat is only 8 months old! Yea freaking brand new practically. Chris went out of town book buying this week and left on Tuesday morning, so I do have to be thankful that it went flat while he was in town and while we were home. If it had happened on the road while he was out of town I don't know what I would have done. It would have been 10x as stressful.

Oh did I also mention that only two weeks ago I went to take my car to get an oil change and they had to fix my front tires. Yea apparently when I bought two new tires last year at sams (you have to put new tires on the back, so they moved the back tires up to the front) they put the front tires on backwards on the rims. Now maybe you're like me and never knew that tires had a front and back but they do. So on top of an oil change they also had to turn my front tires around ($18 for each tire).

Now the newer back tire went flat and I'm riding around on the spare. Luckily I'm riding the bus to work. I only drive about 2 miles to the mall in the morning and then 2 miles back home in the evening. So I left the spare on there until Wednesday. I went by treadquarters on Wednesday evening after work. They checked out the tire and the whole time I prayed that where ever the invisible hole was it could be patched. The man comes back in and lets me know that he couldn't patch it. I need a new tire! I was so angry. Not at the man but at the situation. The continuous small problems with my car that are adding up to be an expensive problem.

Oh also my check engine light has been on for 2 weeks. hahaha. Yup good ol' car is starting to show it's age. I was sitting the the parking garage downtown waiting to go into work (back before I was riding the bus). That's all I was doing, sitting there in the car, parked, idling when the light popped on. It's still on 2 weeks later. We've been putting it off because of how much it's going to cost. Just for someone to look to see what the problem is will be $45. Then I have to get it fixed! So as you can tell I'm pretty annoyed.

All of that was just about my car.  There's still more to my crappy week. On Tuesday the bus was 10mins late so of course that made me 10mins late to work! It totally stressed me out cause I'm at a new job and still getting to know everyone and their personalities. It really doesn't look good being so late when you're new. Well even though I was mad I chose to ride the bus again on Wednesday. What do you know late again!This time the bus was only about 7mins late but then got stuck in traffic so I was 15mins late to work! I was livid! I have no decided to ride the earlier bus. I'll get to work about 20mins early but I can go sit in the faculty/staff lounge and eat my breakfast before going into the office. I rode the earlier bus today and it was great. Less people ride it and I wasn't sitting on the bus stressing out about being late. So that was a relief. I guess it all worked out for the better. I know God had a plan.

Onto the last little bit. Sleep. I thought that with Chris gone this week I'd sleep really good. I'd have the bed all to myself, non of his snoring or sleeping in the middle of the bed and pushing me up to the wall. lol. I thought it would sleep really good but I was wrong. It felt weird sleeping in my spot with him not on his. It felt weird sleeping in the middle of the bed. I couldn't get comfy and when I woke up during the night it took me forever to fall back to sleep. Especially last night. I didn't sleep worth crap last night. It was horrible! Apparently I need him sleeping next to me with his random snoring and movements. hahaha . . . Kinda sweet I guess. Thankfully he comes home tomorrow so hopefully I get some great sleep tomorrow night cuddled up next to him.
